Truck Simulator
American Truck Simulator is a truck driving simulation game developed by SCS Software where players take on the role of a truck driver in the United States. The game features detailed truck models, diverse cargo types, various trailers, and expansive driving routes across California, Nevada, and Arizona. Players can progress from being a driver for hire to building their own transportation company, manage fleets, purchase garages, and hire drivers. The game includes simulation features like air brakes, different transmission types, traffic rules enforcement, and steering wheel support, alongside a photo mode and integration with the World of Trucks online community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionAmerican Truck Simulator currently runs on Apple Silicon Macs exclusively through Rosetta 2 emulation — SCS Software has not released a native Apple Silicon build. The game does work and players report playable framerates (typically 23–40 fps depending on settings), but performance is constrained by emulation overhead and some users report GPU throttling issues after extended play sessions. There is no confirmed native build in development or in beta. Since you are more than two years away from the September 2028 macOS 28 deadline when Rosetta 2 is removed, you have time to monitor SCS Software's development roadmap. Check the SCS forum and their development blog periodically for announcements about Apple Silicon optimization; a native build would significantly improve performance and battery life. If native support remains unavailable as 2028 approaches, you may need to consider alternatives like running the Windows version through Parallels Desktop with Windows on Arm, or exploring other truck simulator games that ship with native Apple Silicon support.
